Research
I am a PhD student at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Computational Statistics and Data Science at the University of Bristol, supervised by Professor Patrick Rubin-Delanchy and Professor Nick Whiteley.
My research is involved with statistical inference on graphs. In particular, applying spectral methods to graph embeddings, and harnessing the low-dimensional manifold structure that can arise from these models.
